researcher was being "handled" -- telling her "...that his report was flawed and that there would be no final report." that report was written miguel del toral, the e-p-a researcher who tested the water in walter's home in early 2015. the resulting memo was leaked in june, showing the water in her home was more than twice the level of hazardous waste. the epa sat on this memo for months, and now we're learning through walters' testimony that the state tried to suppress it too. "this was the ultimate betrayal for the citizens."c-n-n has reached out to the michigan department of environmental quality for comment... "why would they be paying for water that they can't even use, that's poisoning them. that is not american."today's often heated hearing, was about the people who were not there as much as it was about those who were there... chairman chaffetz kicked off the session with a strong words of

emergency manager, darnell earley, who declined to testify. "we're calling on the us marshals to hunt him down and give him that subpoena."earley is not the only person the committee wants to hear from. democrats have urged the leadership to invite michigan governor rick snyder to testify too. "can anybody tell me why the governor is michigan isn't here today? because he is hiding, that's what's happening."and those who did show up were chastised for being less than forthcoming. the chairman of the committee pushing to know why the epa waited months to act on that del toral memo. "why wasn't that made public? "i don't know the answer to that question." "you can't come to a hearing before congress and be in charge of water quality for the epa and not know the answer to that question!"as the oversight committee continues persue answers to questions that have plagued

one glaring truth came out of today's hearing: "we cannot guarantee at this point in time the water is safe to drink." the committee is expecting full, unredacted e-mails from the e-p-a by friday. the e-mails would show the level of involvement of e-p-a officials... in keeping the issue from going public. a major storm system brings a mix of bad weather overnight to much of the central u-s. a band of tornadoes downing trees in alabama and mississippi as heavy snow blankets the northern midwest. jonathan serrie has more from atlanta. a powerful storm system is moving through the country... bringing snow from the rockies to the midwest... and severe thunderstorms to the southeast. late tuesday - a series of tornadoes touching down in mississippi and alabama... causing widespread property damage - but only minor injuries. mos says: "wooooowoooooow ooooooo! just like that. it was
